INTERESTING MOMENTS

After getting their answer sheet back for the second half, one team claimed there was nowhere to put their answers… because they hadn’t mastered the highly technical process of turning over their answer sheet to see the other side.

We asked about the largest Sydney suburbs beginning with RO, and one team asked if the population had to be alive. Because there are a lot of dead people in Rookwood Cemetary.

Instead of calling the people who carry a coffin pall bearers, one team called them ball bearers. Which is a VERY different thing.

When we asked a question about a medical procedure beginning with the letter V where a man is sterilised, one player laughed loud enough that everyone in the room heard. Because apparently vasectomies are hilarious.

See you next week.
